Ill bet there arent many people with the same standards. If its had an oil change on time the rest can largely work itself out

10l exactly? Or did you round it for the story? I find it hard to believe they put exactly 10l in. It sounds like they just made up a…

Nah. Just fat fingers and really poor autocorrection

Why arw ylu still going to thwbdealer? If selling privately, go to a non-dealer mechanic and ask them to do an oil change. Itll look better…
